In the bleak midwinter...
A really frosty wind is making Holly's life absolutely miserable
After all the years of hard work it took Londoner Holly Greene to become a doctor, now it could all be taken away and she only has herself to blame. She's retreating to her brother's rustic home on an island off the coast of Norway to lick her wounds. Only, it's the middle of winter and icy slush plus endless darkness isn't exactly the cheery, festive getaway she had imagined.
Nearly stumbling off the edge of a cliff in the dark, Holly is saved by Froy, a yellow-eyed cat of fearsome but fluffy proportions, and his owner - grouchy, bearded recluse, Tor. Tor has his own problems to face but the inexplicable desire to leave a bag of freshly baked gingerbread men on Holly's doorstep is seriously getting in the way of his hermit routine.
Call it kindness, call it Christmas, but Holly's arrival means midwinter has never looked less bleak.
